About the Hotel

You might still spot politicians enjoying a reprieve from Parliament at The Royal Horseguards. It began life as The National Liberal Club in 1884 and was commandeered by the Ministry of Defense during both world wars to headquarter the M15 and M16, Britain's secret intelligence organizations. After undergoing a full renovation in 2008, sparkling chandeliers and contemporary accents join the oil paintings and rich red and gold furnishings that still retain the air of Westminster.

Great location but very old, outdated and stuffy. Carpet in rooms was filthy. Dirty old shower curtain. Insanely slow lifts. Very poor breakfast offerings and wait times. This hotel needs a deep clean and to modernise things a bit. Great location through. Walking distance to West End, Trafalgar and Piccadilly.

Friendly staff makes it an exceptional experience!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Royal Horseguards. The hotel was excellent but what set the experience apart was the doorman, Pervez. His energy was infectious and he went out of his way daily to make sure our daughter was having fun & dressed warmly. Easily the BEST doorman I've ever seen (and we travel constantly). He made the whole experience amazing! We will definitely stay here next time we are in London.

Best service & afternoon tea

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

We received a beautiful service. Our gathering was made even better with C. Sravani Glenda who was always checking in on us and making sure our tea and food was on point. The decor and detail of the place was so nice. Thank You for everything…..

For its Whitehall location on the Thames near the Horse Guards Building, a room booked here is a bargain. The concierge of the adjacent National Liberal Club recommended it to us. The venerable Victorian building has modern amenities, which gives the hotel a feel of both tradition and comfortable convenience. The interior shuns high-end luxury and flashy décor in favor of a genuinely welcoming staff, starting with a very genial doorman. It’s in walking distance of Trafalgar Square for the National Gallery and the Embankment station of the Underground. We even walked to Covent Garden and a West End theater. There are few shopping and restaurant opportunities in the immediate area, which translates into very quiet streets. But the distinguished adjacent buildings assure the sense of a “good address.” And the number of black-tie holiday parties we observed confirmed it. The buffet breakfast offered an expansive selection of the usual English items with a few continental touches. Our room was comfortable, clean and in excellent working order. We have already recommended it to friends.

We stayed at the Royal Horseguards hotel in December just before Christmas. It was simply superb. Wonderful, helpful staff, great room and terrific service. Would heartily recommend to any visiter to London. Lovely setting in historic Whitehall
